My wife has just discovered a shopping channel that gives mass in grams and lengths and widths in millimeters.
It's ACN TV, Channel 227 (DISH) or Channel 367 (DIRECTV). I don't know whether any of the cable companies carry it. They have a web site at http://acntv.com. Although their information is completely uppercase on the web site (including G for gram and MM for millimeter), they correctly use lowercase on the air. If you decide to compliment them, the email address is mailto:customerservice@;acntv.com. I recommend not criticizing their use of uppercase on the web site. G for gram and MM for millimeter are permitted (sort of) where the text is entirely uppercase. I think the fact that they're using SI at all is laudable. Surprisingly, their headquarters is in Knoxville, TN. Progressive attitudes sometimes show up in the most unexpected places. By the way, I hate shopping channels myself.
